Death is result of debate about God:

A Taylor police dispatcher took the call at precisely 12:44 p.m. on Oct. 18.

A 49-year-old man said he'd just blasted a man with a revolver and a shotgun because the man said he didn't believe in God.

The dispatcher said the alleged shooter told him he'd just shot "the devil himself" and was still armed and standing over the body of the 62-year-old victim "in case he moved."

"I want to make sure he's gone," the alleged shooter told the dispatcher.

The dispatcher asked the suspect how many times he shot the victim.

"Hopefully enough," was the suspect's chilling reply, according to the dispatcher.

When police arrived in the 15600 block of McGuire, they could see the victim seated on a living room couch with major trauma to his head, officers said.

They said they were certain he was dead. He was.

Lying on a hallway floor was a black 12-gauge shotgun. Two spent shotgun shells lay on the floor nearby.

Later, police found a revolver with five spent cartridge casings.

On the way to the police station, the suspect told police "he did not want to deal with anyone that did not believe in God," according to the report.

The report also indicated that the suspect and the victim knew each other, although their relationship was unclear.

The suspect said he was an Eagle Scout, the report said.

The suspect said the victim had told him there was nothing he could say that would convince the 62-year-old to believe in God.

Following this discussion, the suspect said, he went into another room and removed his shirt. Then he shaved his face.

He tried once more to convince the victim to believe in God, but this time, he had the shotgun.

"How long would it take you to believe in God?" the suspect said he asked the victim.

"Not until I hear Gabriel blow his horn," the victim allegedly replied, while tipping his hat.

That's when the suspect shot him.

"I did it because he is evil; he was not a believer," the suspect told police.

The suspect said the victim "has been locked up most of his life."

Michigan Department of Corrections records indicate the victim was on probation for a drug conviction.

At the police station, the suspect commented that he believed there is a God.

Then, looking at the floor, he seemed to have second thoughts: "Maybe there's not," he said.

JP,

Sometimes you make very stupid statements. What does this man who obviously has something mentally wrong with him have to do with Marines fighting in Fallujah?

Wow I fully expected JP not to be posting until 25 to life

[Chuckiechan]

JP, that is the mentality we are fighting in Iraq. At least in this country we lock people like this up in the loonie bin!

[John Prophet]

uhh..I am referring to the shooting of unarmed people and the shooting of wounded people who are defenseless

maybe ya'll dont see those reports on CNN.....


obviously not all marines are like that.....but have you seen some of the soundbytes from some of the marines??

"Ive got my kills, I love my job"

"this ones faking, he's not dead. (blam) He's dead now"



The govt has put our marines in a no win situation....that doesnt exactly bring out the best in people.

BTW I am ex military so all you civilian types who smoked pot in college while I was doing my 4 years can go jump...go do 4, then judge

oh btw..yes of course this man was a kook and needs to be locked up....and he needs to stop preaching God or at least he needs to read a little about no murderer inheriting the kingdom of heaven

JP,

Have you read any about the booby-trapped dead bodies the insurgents have left? So that means marines now have to worry about the "seemingly dead" insurgents, as well as the real ones. I am not over there, but would I rather have a marine shoot an insurgent he thinks is "booby-trapped" then make a mistake and get himself killed? Your darn right, I would rather haved a dead insurgent than a dead marine.

On a happier note, atleast the Iraqi's are speaking out against these kinds of people.
